45 grand for a series 1 rs turbo, is it really worth any where near that price??

I would say no... that "expensive" interior is not OE, and allot of other Things not "correct"??? top money cars need to be 100%stock, or 100% correct modded, or a genuine collecter dont want them I would say.. but the car looks good overall tbh...

It looks great, but no Series 1 is £45k, and although it looks fantastic it's not original. I don't know where people get these prices from. I think they just dream up a daft number and double it.

he think it "cost" that much do fix up another one to the same... but thats got to be retailprice, and thats just stupid... the expensive interior is ruining the car in my eys... "cheap" boat vinyl in backseats it looks like, and diffrent fabric on front seats... yes expensive interior

There's no way that cost £45K to get it to that standard, £20K yes maybe, but not that much

yes thats what I meen, but if pay "full" price on a workshop to do everything then maybe... but that stil dont justify the pricetag...

That's just silly you've fallen out with money if you part with 45k for it let's be honest.

[Focustard]

That's the lowest s1 I have ever seen must be worth 45k

interior is alcantara and would have been a few quid at the time. the shell was a no expense spared prep as well. iirc it was started around 2008-ish and there were threads on seriesoneturbo and the rsoc til the previous owners was banned off both sites for different reasons.

at the time it was possibly the best restored shell i've seen and the blue and silver powdercoating was fashionable at the time. the very vast majority was built using NOS parts like the panels and bodykit, a nos kit would probably cost 2k to buy now.


all said and done its not anything like 45k though...

[Stoo]

£45k

[Darren]

At that price it'll probably be for sale for as long as it took to restore

My £45k would be going on a 500, not a gay wheel drive escort

[Sunnysidebb]

I wonder how many miles the Shell has actually done

The guy is living in dreamland, if that's worth 45k that's a 15k car max and then he would be doing well if he got that.
